Street League Academy is recruiting for 2026. It’s employability academies are for 16-30-year-olds and provide an inclusive approach to helping young people find suitable work, training opportunities, apprenticeships, or further education.
They last around 12 weeks and run three times per year in May, September and January. These programmes run from Monday to Thursday and include maths and English qualifications, employability workshops, sports and fitness, first aid course, work experience events, site visits, one-to-one mentoring, and more.
If you want to gain valuable skills and qualifications and even get work experience opportunities with one of our employer partners, this is for you. It’s about your goals – we work with you to find the right opportunity and empower you to own your future. Attendance is free and everyone is welcome.
Eligibility – Must be aged between 16-30 years old and not have already achieved grade 4s in GCSE maths and English or a Level 2 in Functional Skills in both subject areas.
If you need support but can’t commit to a full course, Street League run two other employability projects.
